Description

Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a ‘heroine whom no one but myself will much like’; but Emma is irresistible. ‘Handsome, clever, & rich’, Emma is also an ‘imaginist’, ‘on fire with speculation & foresight’. She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgment & imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, & the end is a triumph of understanding. Includes an Introduction & Notes by Dr. Nicola Bradbury, University of Reading, UK. A book in the Wordsworth Classics series.
